Need Help Buying KLZE

Ukrman · Post by **Ukrman** » February 18th, 2007, 10:54 pm

There alot of places that sell KLZEs. So many choices, so many different prices. How would one go about buying a KLZE, how to choose where to buy one from. Any personal experiences with any particular places? Any recommendations? Is there a reason why some places want $500 and some want $1500?

Your best deal is to buy from Engineworldusa. There $595+shipping. And their shipping rates are good. I've been to their warehouse, they know about the different KL engines.

Yeah, but most of those curved neck ZE's aren't true ZE's. They won't have the both the ZE heads and cams. Straight neck will.

but then no one new to an engine swap would likely know how to fit in a straight-neck KLZE into an mx-3 engine bay would they? Isn't that a big PatDiesel secret recipe still?

hgallegos915 · Post by **hgallegos915** » February 25th, 2007, 10:24 pm

no its not a secret.. alot of people have done it already. Use the search.

A curved neck is also a real ze, exception of the kl01 cams. I would prefer the straight neck over the curved neck tho.

its no big secret on how to get a straight neck in. many people aside from patdiesel have done it, just secah and you will see

This will be the first time of me hearing that a straight neck would fit in the MX3

Other then the intake manifold and the cams, any other differences between a curved neck KLZE and a straight neck?

If anyone pulls up the thread showing how to fit the straight neck inside a MX3, post it up.
I wonder how much work is involved. I also wonder why its better then a curved neck KLZE?

I thought you did something to the engine mounts in order to the tilt the engine forward a few degrees?

I saw one guy turn the throttle body upside down and it fit lol . I think theres a hood clearance issue tho. Which can be solved with a hood scoop?
